Where to buy large aquariums for new crabitat?

Post by hamtaro » Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:45 pm

Currently I have 5 crabs, 2 PPs and 3 strawberries all around the medium to large size. I feel as though my tank is way too small for them. I have a 45 gallon tank, 36(long)x18(deep)x17(height) inches.
Will be posting pictures when I get home, but my crabitat stinks and I want to offer them more.

I'm trying to find larger tanks, but the highest they offer at petco is 80 and that is an online order only. I live in Austin Texas.

Hi! Have you checked Craigslist? Other options include Offer Up, Let Go, and Facebook buy/sell groups.

Classifieds! It's scary how many people have 90+ tanks they want rid of.

I like FB groups, both local buyselltrade and reptile classifieds, and you can set it so it will notify you automatically when someone lists something you want. I'm in like 20 local classifieds groups and can usually find things quick when I need them. (Or don't need them. Impulse buys!)

Custom build, anything over 4 foot tends to be custom in aus. My newest has been as such.
